Default Whats next?? Your ideas.....

So deciding what to do next. Just have a cam only car. and bolt ons. Headers exhaust......What should i do next to add some power?? I have done all the simple free mods and the slp lid ported tb and stuff like that. just wanted some ideas on what would be the best way to go for more. Should i do 243 heads ported? add some spray??? maybe a fast intake? (doesnt seem worth it to me on the intake) but i do need a new rear end but thats a seperate project itself. Just curious what people thought Im guessing heads will be a decent upgrade. 1000 bucks for ported heads installed? i could do them just dont really want to i'm sick of working on this car

The logical next step on the motor is heads, but the overall next logical step is probably the rear end with the right gear ratio.

ya i know the 9" w 4.10's will be good just want to do some more power at the same time. are the 243's ported decent. or just spend extra and get some good ones

Opinions on this, of course differ, but for my money I think the cost of really good reworked 243s is pretty close to Trick Flow 220s as cast, which flow almost as well as Trick Flow 215s and can be improved later.

Probably should look at getting that power to the ground with some suspension upgrades
